Batch Time Sync
The DVRs in the CMT database can be time synced to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server’s
clock. NTP is a protocol designed to synchronize the clocks of computers over a network. However,
the time zones will not be changed; hence if a DVR unit is set to use CST and the NTP Server is set
to EST the DVR unit will be synchronized to the NTP Server but the time zone offset will be kept.
Note: The NTP Server can only be set after a CMT admin logs into CMT; hence it will not display
on the Options tab until a CMT admin logs in.

2. Enter the NTP Server Machine Name in the New Server text eld in the NTP
Server section.
